The purpose of this Webinar will be to generate, in the different agents of the financial system, a greater awareness of the potential of green hydrogen in the path towards a more sustainable economy and to evaluate the main challenges that exist financing projects related to the production of green hydrogen, its storage and transport. This webinar will seek to propose a debate about the strategies and actions that financial institutions can take to accelerate the transition process towards a more sustainable economy, what kind of support would be needed, how to properly manage the current risks and barriers, and identify business opportunities through the innovation of financial products and services that they offer to their clients in relation to this energy source.
